Ma Yukun of the Yushugou Yi Army Battalion, although he couldn't see the scene on the other side of the river through the fog at dawn, but listening to the still fierce gunfire, Ma Yukun was a lot more relieved. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This at least shows that the Ma Jinxu Department is still fighting bravely against the Japanese soldiers.

In the thick fog, Ma Yukun, who was anxious, had just ordered two battalions of infantry and one sentry cavalry, totaling more than 1,000 troops, to reinforce Hushan.

As a result, I heard a loud shout in front of the camp gate, and then the gunfire broke out.

Ma Yukun looked at it with a trembling heart, and was horrified to see that in the fog in front of the camp outside, a large area of Japanese troops rushed over with dark clouds like black pressure on the city.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot!"

"Spread out the defense, crouch down and shoot in three stages!"

In Ma Yukun's roar, the two battalions of Yi Jun, who were about to go to Hushan for reinforcements, raised their rifles in horror under the shouts of the battalion officer and sentry commander, and shot towards the black shadow in the fog outside the camp gate.

"Stop moving forward and prostrate and shoot!"

In the fog on the opposite side, there was a shouting of the Japanese soldiers, and then the Japanese soldiers stopped their charge, lay on the ground, and raised their guns to shoot.

The war broke out without warning.

After about 20 minutes of resistance, Ma Yukun's troops became more and more struggling in the face of the dense stream of bullets fired by several times the Japanese army.

And a Japanese army actually bypassed the west flank of Ma Yukun's department and tried to copy it from behind.

This move of the Japanese army suddenly made Ma Yukun full of cold sweat, once the back road is blocked, the 2,000 Yi troops are likely to be dumplings and the whole army will be annihilated.

"Retreat immediately and go to the defense area of General Song!"

In desperation, Ma Yukun had no choice but to order the troops to withdraw from the Yushugou defense area.

After receiving the order from Shangguan, the Yi army, which had already been chilled, began to retreat backwards.

More than forty or fifty corpses were left in Yushugou, and a large amount of military funds did not have time to be burned, so they fled in embarrassment to the Song Desheng defense area in the direction of Weizigou upstream.

The Japanese army's attack force on the Rang River continued to chase after him, closely following Ma Yukun's buttocks, and chased towards the upper reaches of the Rang River.

At about eight o'clock, Ma Yukun, who was retreating, met Song Desheng who was going south to reinforce him, and the two randomly joined forces and retreated to Song Desheng's defense area on the right bank of the Danghe River.

At 9:10 a.m., when the sun was dispelling the morning fog, the Japanese troops assembled outside the Song Desheng defense area began to attack under the orders of Major General Yamatomin of the 5th Brigade.

With 4,000 Yi troops and more than 7,000 Japanese troops, the two sides immediately began a fierce exchange of fire on the long defensive line.

The Japanese army relied on the large number of people, the Yi army relied on the terrain, and the guns on both sides exchanged guns, and no one could help anyone for a while, and they were tightly glued together.

While the Qing and Japanese armies were fighting fiercely on the right bank of the river, at Hushan on the left bank, after the fog in the mountains and forests cleared, Immediately saw that Shangwen immediately issued an order for the whole army to attack.

The Majinxu Division, which had been fighting blindly for half the night, was already unable to withstand the fierce attack of 6,000 Japanese troops on both sides of the southwest.

Before, it was only relying on the fog of the night, barely resisting, but at this time, the fog dissipated, where was the Japanese opponent who was several times the strength of the army.

The Hushan Qing army then began to retreat one after another, and then fled in a swarm to the northwest.

However, Ma Jinxu still had a conscience, and when he retreated, he specially sent his henchmen to inform Nie Shicheng.

Wu Yijun, who was fighting with the two Japanese troops in the chestnut orchard, after getting the news, Nie Shicheng hurriedly ordered the whole army to evacuate the chestnut orchard.

Before the encirclement of the Japanese army on the four routes, they withdrew from the battlefield and avoided the fate of being surrounded and annihilated.

And the Ming army, who was trapped in Jiulian City, obviously did not have this kind of good luck.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Song Desheng and Ma Yukun, who were in the middle of the fight, were horrified to see that Ma Jinxu's department on the left bank of the Danghe River was evacuating Hushan along the river.

And behind them, the mountains were full of pursuing Japanese troops.

Then, Ma Yukun and Song Desheng were even more frightened to see that in the distance downstream, the surrounding areas outside Jiulian City were actually full of Japanese flags.

"Mingjun was made dumplings, bitter!"

With these two consecutive blows, the shocked Song Desheng and Ma Yukun's faces completely lost color.

The two no longer had any intention of fighting, and began to command the troops to leave the battlefield and retreat towards the Chinese army camp in Weizigou upstream.

Immediately, the Japanese army completely occupied the downstream defense area of Song Desheng's Weizigou and stopped continuing the pursuit.

began to arrange the blocking line, completely cutting off the connection between the Yi army in the direction of Weizigou and Liu Shengxiu's department in Jiulian City.

Prepare to attack the Nine Links with all your might.

In Jiulian City, thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky.

At this time, Liu Shengxiu collapsed on the Taishi chair as if he had no bones, his eyes were blank.

Last night's bombing killed more than 100 Ding Yong, five sentinels, and even his confidant Zhou Youmou was also killed.

But these are trivial matters, and the most important thing now is how he can escape from the siege of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers.

"Military gate, the telegraph line has been cut off by the Uyi, the Uyi-"

"Boom-"

Suddenly, there was a roar between heaven and earth.

After a morning of Japanese shelling, Mougins sounded again.

Suddenly, countless cannonballs roared and exploded in Jiulian City, completely drowning out the voice of Li Biwei, the commissioner of Jiulian City, in the house.

Liu Shengxiu's face was pale, and his hands tightly grasped the armrests of the Taishi chair, feeling that the whole earth was shaking.

The wooden beams of the roof creaked and groaned, splashing large clouds of dust, and the tables and chairs in the room, even the green bricks on the ground, were 'snapping' and jumping.

It seemed like the whole house was going to collapse at any moment.

"Junmen, the ultimatum sent by the Uyi, it will not be surrendered within half an hour, and there will be no chickens and dogs left in Yizhou City!"

Li Shanyue, the officer of the Ming military camp, was discouraged, and ran in with a frightened face, knelt down and shouted: "The military gate is full of Japanese soldiers!" The entire outside of the city was densely packed with Japanese soldiers, Ma Yukun, and Song Desheng, and they had already fled without a shadow! ”

"He Changying, you bastard! The old man regretted that he shouldn't have ——, it, it's over! ”

Liu Shengxiu slumped in his chair and scolded in despair, hating himself for why he didn't take over Shahezi's errand yesterday, but instead made He Changying, a bastard, a good thing.

Who would have thought that it would only take one night to have such a drastic change!

If he had promised to come down at that time, he would be the one who is now nesting in the turtle urn of Jiulian City, it is he who is aiding the Korean army, how can he be long!

And he was on the way to the west, so he could use the loss of the upper reaches as an excuse to directly pull the Ming army into the deep mountains and old forests in the rear.

Since then, the sky is high and the water is wide!

"Junmen, He Changying, this little bastard, wouldn't he have seen the danger in this before, and deliberately set us a trap, right?"

Li Shanyue's face was shocked.

"Yes, yes, that's it; Send a telegram, I'm going to impeach in the middle hall—"

Liu Shengxiu suddenly deflated like a deflated ball.

The telegraph wires are all cut, how to impeach?

Besides, now that his life is on the line, even if he is impeached, can he escape the snare in front of him?

Regret shouldn't have been!

About 20 minutes later, the white flag was unfurled on the city wall of the ninth company, and the 4,000 Ming troops did not fire a single shot, did not fire a single shot, and opened the door to surrender.

After Liu Shengxiu's troops in Jiulian City opened the door and surrendered, in the afternoon of the same day, Song Qing, who got the news, immediately ordered the Yi army stationed in Weizigou to start retreating towards Phoenix City in the rear.

And Nie Shicheng and Ma Jinxu, who had withdrawn from the Hushan defense line, also retreated towards Phoenix City in the upper reaches of the Shan River after learning that the people of the Weizigou camp on the other side of the river had gone to Loukong.
